A Mysterious Disease.

DIR. Holloway the territorial veteri-
nary surgeon has returned to Helena
from Cartersville, where he has been
investigating the reported disease
among the range horses. He pro-
nounces the sickness an enzootic ma.
lignant fever. From Its being describ-
ed ss enzootic it will be understood
that II is local In character and not
contagious, but affects large numbers
of horses from some cause OF local ORR
gin not Immediately discoverable. He
thinks the fatalities have been quite
large but from the fact the horses are
on the range It is hard to determine to
what extent deaths have occurred. II
Is also difficult to treat these wild range
horses. Affected animals that have
been taken up and are sufficiently
docile for treatment have done very
well. DIR. Holloway does not think
this disease will last long nor spread
much farther. He lie also inclined TO
believe that II Ia the same disease that

The future of the S. & NJ. railroad seems to be
involved in good deal of uncertainty at present.
Inc engineers have been ordered to suspend opera
tons on the survey for the present. and the work
III forwarding the extension of the line is at n
standsti.l. saturday special town meeting was
held at Hartland to see if that town would vote to
allow its share in the road which is already con-
structed to be mortgaged Without much delibera
ton the citizens assembled voted bv considerable
majority to pass the article. Where the funds to
complete the road are to come from is not exactly
plain. Harland has not sufficient volume of
business at present to sustain the eight miles al
reacy built. SO the future of the line to Hartland
depends on its extension Hartland can't afford,
as circumstances now are, to be a terminal point.
lPittsteld Advertiser.
In another article the Advertiser reports a move
to hold another town meeting to rescind the vote
above mentioned, and says: at is a short sighted
policy for Harland to obstruct the further build
ing of the road. If the road stops there what the
town has put in will surely he lost, and if it goes
through TO the lake, it can he no more than lost.
and there Is probability that the towns invest
ment would be of some benefit to the place.
The amount involved is SIS, 600, which Hartland
subscribed with the condition that no part of the
road should be mortgaged. If the town will now
waive that right syndicate of Maine capitalists
stand ready to complete the road through to the
Lake. Last saturday Messrs. James Mitchell and
Archibald Linn of IIartland were in Belfast and
had a consultation with some of our leading citi
zens to the policy to be pursued. They were
advised by all that Har;land should consent
to the mortgasing of the road and thus ensure
Its completion, and Hon. Seth l.. Milliken and W
e. Marshall Esq. were appointed committee to &c
to Hartland and urge this course We hope 1t will
be adopted, and the road built.

The Source of Our Water Supply.

Oar attention has been called to the question
is proposed to dam it, will furnish water supply
for the city Of Belfast according to the terms Of
the contract, which require an ample supply
of wholesome water at all times. Many think
the river should ne damned higher up. 1t is pro-
posed to place the dam at point 200 or 800 feet
above the present dam and flow a pond of about
forty acres in extent. over this entire territory
the salt water has flowed from time immemoral
and will so continue until stopped out. Six or eight
acres of this is salt water marsh with bottom of
stick can he easily thrust down its full length any
where without touching bottom, and the soil emits
Il filthy o'ior peculiar to all salt water marshes. IL
may be said this will be removed. We doubt it for
the time and expense will be too great This pond
when flowed will be shallow to a large extent.
For two or three months in the year there will be
10 flow to the river and the pond must become Il
large bo'iy of stagnant water. Can this stagnant
pohd, upon such bottom, fostering in the sun
supply suflciency of wholesome water: This is
the question to he considered, AMI we suggest that
the city eminent investigate the matter before
work begins on the dam. 1t seems to us that it is
for the interest of all concerned to have not only
an abundant supply of water. but pure water. If
upon investigation it is shown that all the re
quirements can be met by building the dam on the
site proposed, well and good. If not, then let the
city call halt.
